He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the LORD
Notice "finds" here is ACTIVE.
Even if you meet someone through friends, you had to be active to even have/find friends
If you pursue the gifts and talents that the good Lord gave you then you have a greater chance of finding someone through those activities
But the main point is still ACTION on your part
In the long run, we shape our lives, and we shape ourselves. The process never ends until we die. And the choices we make are ultimately our own responsibility.
Eleanor Roosevelt
You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing which you think you cannot do.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Never let the fear of striking out get in your way.
Babe Ruth
Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy.
Dale Carnegie
2 Timothy 1:7
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
Working on it but its not easy (especially for those of us introverted and new to crowds). I cannot get out and about as much as I would like to and still have not met any friends yet.
